Studies were designed to explore the association of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) activities with lipoproteins in human postheparin plasma (PHP). The major peak of LPL activity after gel filtration of PHP eluted after the triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and just before the peak of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. When PHP contained chylomicrons, an add...

In order to examine tumor modifying effects of phenolphthalein (PhP), female transgenic mice carrying human prototype c-Ha-ras gene (rasH2 mice) were given a single intraperitoneal injection of 60 mg/kg body weight of N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU), followed by the diet containing 12,000 ppm PhP for 26-week. Histopathologically, alveolar hyperplasias, adenomas and adenocarcinomas were observed in ...

A novel antifungal protein, designated as PHP, was isolated from the seeds of Peganum harmala, by cationic exchange chromatography on Resource S column and gel filtration on Sephadex 75 10/300 GL column. PHP was found to form a homodimer of about 16 kDa. Isoelectric focusing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis showed that the isoelectric point of PHP was ∼8.4. The N-terminal 20-amino ac...

Heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs) usually exhibit spatial separation amongst base stations (BSs) of different types (termed tiers in this paper). For instance, operators will usually not deploy a picocell in close proximity to a macrocell, thus inducing separation amongst the locations of pico and macrocells. This separation has recently been captured by modeling the small cell locations b...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to assess the value for money of introducing pneumococcal conjugate vaccines as part of the immunization program in a lower-middle income country, the Philippines, which is not eligible for GAVI support and lower vaccine prices. It also includes the newest clinical evidence evaluating the efficacy of PCV10, which is lacking in other previous studies. ...

UNLABELLED Since the existence of pHp was demonstrated, it has been shown that this molecule and its receptor CD163 are regulated by different stimuli. Furthermore, a comparably fast secretion of pHp was described as well as the immuno-stimulatory effects. The intention of this study was to elucidate the role of pHp in the human lungs further. Here we show, by means of confocal microscopy and i...

Pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia (PHP-Ia), one of 4 types of PHP, is a genetic disease characterized by clinical hypoparathyroidism caused by parathyroid hormone (PTH) resistance. In addition, patients with PHP-Ia show resistance to other hormones as well as Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO), a constellation of features including short stature, obesity, brachydactyly, ectopic ossificat...

Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) refers to two major variants that generally coexist in the same family, PHP type Ia (PHP Ia), in which both PTH resistance and a constellation of physical features, termed Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO), are present, and pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP), in which AHO occurs without PTH resistance. Most patients with PHP Ia show a partial deficienc...
